  Case: Vandalism
Last week students made posters about their favorite things. The teacher hung all of the posters on the bulletin board directly outside the classroom. This morning when she walked in, 3 of the posters had been written on with foul language. How should the teacher address this situation?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I would mention it to the classroom and see if it happens again. If it happens again I would try to find out who did it and punish them because vandalism is a crime.

Comments: Try to find the cause, and explain why this is wrong. Students don't often understand why these things are wrong until you really bring it to their attention!

Comments: I would find out immediately who could have done it. I would punish the student as soon as I found out. I think giving a second chance is just enabling negative behavior.

Comments: The kids who did awful thing probably did it as a joke and thought it was funny, which is false. I agree with first giving the benefit of the doubt, but if it happens again administration will get involved and consequences will be issued because they were given a chance already.
